Hi Parent


Anyone has any idea what is the difference between class p1-1 and p8 in north vista primary? Does that mean my kid is not \"clever\" and thus has been assigned to p1-8 class which is towards the last two class?

Regards

Hi happyfather,

i had checked with the school on this cos' my girl is in P1-7. The classes are allocated randomly. There are 9 classes of P1. I had noticed that the last 4 classes do not have any other races except chinese in the class. Who knows maybe the better ones are those in the last few classes.

Rdgs,

Hi, I am new to this forum. Is the open house meant for parents with kids entering in Yr 2011? I didn't see this info in its website. Tks!

valencia:

Next Wed, the school will be having an \"open house\". Perhaps, from the visit will be able to judge more.

Can post more details of the open house? e.g. what time, any program, open to whom.

My gd fren is a staff member there. Next Wed is not an open house. It’s a curriculum briefing for parents. Heard only parents are allowed.

Hi all,

I just called the school. The curriculum briefing is for P2-P5.

They like it cos of the activities they have during lessons. Alot of learn through play (based on what I heard from my students and their parents).
End up, my students do not like 'academic work' like worksheets and practice questions to prepare for exams. A few of them are trying to transfer out because they are worried that they do not have the ability to keep providing tuition to their children to ensure they are ready by P6 for PSLE, competing with other kids in SG.

But I think that is nothing new from north vista right.

As a parent, we can't put the blame 100% to the school we need to do our part. So far my kids are doing well, and he did some regular practices (legacy study) at home.

Most important is communicate with the teacher and understand the school direction. As well as the kids how he/she behaving.

You have to spend times with the kids, understand them. Not just based on what you heard or you seem, some kids suitable for north vista, some might not.

My 2 cents!
